Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened, for the dough
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for the dough
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed, for the dough
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour for the dough
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the dough
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for the streusel
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar packed, for the streusel
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for the streusel
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed, for the streusel
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for the glaze
  • 1 tablespoon milk for the glaze

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Make the streusel by cutting the cold butter into the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until crumbly, then refrigerate.
  2. Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for the dough, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
  3. Mix in the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt) just until a soft dough forms.
  4. Scoop the dough into balls, flatten them slightly on a baking sheet, and press a generous mound of chilled streusel onto each.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 11 to 13 minutes, cool completely, and drizzle with the mixed powdered sugar glaze.

Notes

  • Do not be afraid to pack the streusel down firmly onto the raw dough; otherwise, it will fall off when you try to eat them.
